Blood Campaign
As Donations Rise
IFC to Get
Workshop
Suggestions
The need for improved public
relations and the advisability of
having permanent committees on
the Interfraternity Council to
represent the eight areas of frat
ernity activity were the main un
derlying r e c o m m en dations to
come out of the second annual
IFC Workshop held last week.
During the program, eight
groups met to discuss fraternity
problems and to adopt useful
recommendations to the IFC
based on their sessions. The eight
groups covered administration,
rushing, pledge training, finances,
scholarship, house maintenance,
social, and public relations.
Among the chief recommenda
tions to be made to the IFC are:
1. That the IFC sponsor more
exchange dinners between frat
ernities and fraternity officers.
2. That a clear copy of IFC
rul e s and regulatoins be pre
pared.
3. That an emphatic year-round
inforthational program concern
ing Penn State fraternities and
the fraternity system be initiated.
4. That civic projects by frat
ernities not be placed on a com
pulsory bapis by the IFC.
5. That the week of, work and
activity held at the end of pledge
ship be conducted at the same
time by all fraternities. '
6. That all efforts be made to
bt.gin cooperative buying.
7. That closed social events
may be in order for Penn State
fraternities. •

Last Vote in '47
The special referendum to de
termine the Sunday movie ques
tion brought a large turnout of
voters. _
Sunday movies were voted on
in State College in 1947. The ref
erendum was voted down by 85
votes.
At the time of that vote State
College was divided into only
three precincts and it was a 146
vote difference in the large West
precinct which made the differ
ence.
No Other Votes In
Strong advertising campaigns
concerning the referendum were
carried on in the last few weeks
by both sides. It was the topic
of sermons in several churches of
the borough Sunday.
Besides the special movie ref
erendum of special interest to
students at the College, State Col
lege voters elected four council
men, two school directors, an
assessor, constable, justice of the
peace, auditor and precinct lead
ers. Votes in these races were
unavailable when the Daily Col
legian went to press.
Officials in reporting a heavy
vote said "that many voters were
forced to stand in line as the
8 p.m. closing time approached.
A special referendum on the
Sunday movie question was alsci
voted upon in College Township
an d unofficial returns showed
that it met defeat there also. The
unofficial vote was 296 no, 260
yes, with 47 spoiled ballots.

Chest Drive
Has $3500
Of Quota
Campus Chest officials yester
day reported returns of only $3500
with four days remaining in the
two-week drive for $12,000.
Murray Goldman, solicitation
chairman, said . he felt the slow
ness of returns is to be blamed
on solicitors. Less than half of
350 solicitors have made any re
port to date, he said, and the
drive is almost ended.
Goldman said student contri
butions seemed normal, but that
lack of reports accounted for the
small income. He urged solicitors
to "get about their jobs because
the drive is drawing to an end."
Chi Phi has reported 150 per
cent pledges to the drive, Gold
man said. Percentage is figured
on the basis of the individual $2
pledge. He said the 150 percent
was possible because many men
had pledged $5, and not all re
turns from the fraternity are in.
Drive solicitor is Samuel Nowell.
One hundred percent contribu
tions have been reported from
Elm, Spruce, and Hemlock Cot
tages, third floor west of Women's
Building, and Sigma Alpha Ep
silon.
Students may either pledge to
the drive and have the pledge
added to second . semester fees, or
give cash. Goldman asked solici
tors to strive for the $2 individual
goal.
Chest benefits were discussed
by Goldman, William Klisanin,
and Milton Bernstein, over radio
station WMAJ last night.
Meeting Postponed
Because of the death of Dean
of Men Emeritus Arthur R.
Warnock, All-College Cabinet
has postponed its meeting
scheduled for Thursday night.
